Sleep Solutions: The Hidden Link Between Scoliosis and Poor Sleep explains that night-time is a “repair shift” when bones strengthen, muscles release, nerves reset, and the brain clears chemical fog—work scoliosis patients need even more than the average sleeper because curved spines strain tissues all day long. When a bend presses on ribs, hips, or lungs, micro-pain alarms and shallow breathing chip away at deep-sleep stages, leaving stiffer backs and foggier minds by dawn. The book widens the lens beyond mattresses, tracing insomnia back to genetic variants (MTHFR, COMT, CLOCK), low serotonin and melatonin, and hormone imbalances such as high cortisol or low progesterone that keep muscles tense and thoughts racing.
